It's Work Week Again

Its work again after a week long leaves (my very own poor substitute of school/summer holiday). A big question to me is, "why is it I did not feel like writing anything in my blog when I was on leave but the moment work week begins, there are suddenly so many things to write?". Yes I do have things to do last week, so is the time when I have to work isn't it and yet I'll steal 20-30 minutes to write/read blogs every now and then. Probably this is related to what Aiz has pointed out here, "Think of a blog as your own private therapist. Without the fancy fees.", which actually originates from here.



What is our responsibility related to work when we're in a holiday? I do get calls/emails from clients when I was on leave. My first reaction is to put things on hold until I start work again, unless it's something simple I can answer or do and email back. I'm sure my boss expected more than that. Probably, every boss expected us to put work first no matter what. I, on the other hand, don't think the world will stop moving if we postpone things for a few days. Yes, that's me, the procrastinator speaking. Just because I want to stop and smell the roses every so often doesn't make me a bad employee. At least, I don't think so.



Someone once said I'm not ambitious enough. Career wise that is. I think these are the people who want other people to have their own standard of happiness. There is nothing wrong with me being happy and contented with what I have. They probably did not realize that. But I do and that makes me feel richer knowing I'm happy at where I am now, and they are still striving to get what they think is happiness for them.



Anyway, I don't think my points tied up nicely together in this entry. Must have been due to having so many things to say but not the time. So I better hold on to everything else that I wanted to write and get into working mode again.
